What is scalp blood flow?
Scalp blood flow refers to the circulation of blood through the vessels supplying nutrients and oxygen to the scalp and hair follicles.
Improved blood flow is a key target of red light therapy, often achieved through vasodilation triggered by nitric oxide release during treatment sessions.
By enhancing scalp blood flow, red light therapy delivers more nutrients to hair follicles, promoting healthier growth cycles and accelerating recovery from shedding phases.
